Shhhhhhh, quiet please.

Even though this year I thought ahead and brought down an entire box of books from home (books I've read and want to reread and books I've only partially read), I still felt the need to know where the Destin Library was. So this morning after breakfast, I found it very near the spot in which I ate. It's really fairly charming. (Click away...)

Walk up to the front doors and....

have a chat with Mark Twain.

Or "set a spell" yourself on the library porch....

and gaze at the landscaping....I just love this pink ornamental grass they have down here!

About Me

I was born a reader. My first real "grown-up" book came from a school book fair when I was in the fourth grade -- Little Women. I still have it, 58 years later. As I became acquainted with the March girls, I came to identify with one more than the others. It certainly wasn't shy, timid Beth or proper Meg. Amy's love of art resonated with me, but at last, because she loved literature and writing and because of her independent nature -- although often awkward and outspoken -- it was decidedly Jo.
